The Fix Is In

The Fix Is In (Curtis Salgado, Alan Hager, Ryan Waters Alby Alan and Suzanne Dominique Hello, music lovers It's the 21st century But the more times change The more the old hustle remains the same And I've learned if it sounds too good to be true It usually isn't good... or true I've learned to question everything And not to be a fool and believe the spin And I watch my back because The fix is in The fix is in Long before we tossed the dice They sized us up And oh, they figured right They know how to keep you hooked Take more money from your pocketbook 'Cause there's a sucker born every day They can see you coming a mile away They'll meet and greet Call you their friend But behind your back They're whispering The fix is in Well, well, the fix is in Now, wait a minute Remember the crash, 2008 and your 401k It's the number on your pay stub that you file away It's the golden ticket that's just a tease That you'll retire to a life of ease But those dreams had vanished From crooked business dealings White collar crime, greed and corporate stealing Not one CEO responsible did time in the pen 'Cause they're the one percenters Americans The fix was in The fix was in Somebody, play me the blues! Now listen It's election time We're standing in line Elephants, donkeys, casting pearls before the swine They promise to make a change Tell us what we want to hear Tempt us with hope And hook us with fear It's the same old okey doke I think you might agree Back room politicians With trump cards up their sleeves Still, I always show To cast my vote again But it's hard to trust the system When the fix is in Well, yeah, the fix is in I, I know, it hurts you, don't it? Supposed to look out for one another I can't trust nobody these days What's happening to our country? There's so much greed The fix is in, oh The fix is in
